Comprehensive Buyer’s Guide for the Screw-FIX Increaser - Ø 175-200mm
When it comes to maintaining a top-quality heating system, every component must not only perform its function but also integrate seamlessly with other parts of the flue system. The Screw-FIX Increaser - Ø 175-200mm is designed to do just that. This guide will walk you through all the details about this essential product, helping you understand its importance, benefits, and how to integrate it effectively into your flue system setup.
Understanding the Role of the Screw-FIX Increaser
The primary function of this increaser is to serve as a transitional joint between a rigid single wall flue system and a flexible flue liner. By increasing the flue diameter by 25mm, the accessory ensures that different parts of your heating system fit together securely. This is crucial for ensuring that the flue works efficiently and safely. It is specifically tailored for use with MI-FLEX 316 and 904 flexible flue liners, meaning it is engineered to meet the exacting standards required for such systems.
Key Benefits and Features
Durability and Safety: Constructed from 0.6mm 316L stainless steel, this increaser can withstand high temperatures of up to 600°C (T600 designation) and heavy usage over time. The robust material contributes to long-lasting performance, assuring you that the product will endure the demands of regular use.
Compliance with Regulations: This product meets the Building Regulations Document J, which is essential for any installation in a masonry chimney. This compliance guarantees that your installation adheres to all required safety and performance standards.
Versatility in Fuel Types: Whether your heating system uses wood (with a moisture content less than 20%), oil, gas, or smokeless coal, the Screw-FIX Increaser is the ideal accessory. Its design accommodates various fuel sources without compromising on efficiency or safety.
Enhanced System Efficiency: The 25mm diameter increase facilitates a smooth transition between system components, ensuring a gas-tight connection and reducing the risk of sealant or cement failures. This also improves the overall thermal efficiency of the flue system, maintaining optimal heat retention and preventing energy losses.
Installation and Maintenance Guidance
Proper installation is paramount. The increaser must be fitted within a masonry chimney, and it is essential that the joint is sealed properly using fire cement, ceramic rope, or high-temperature sealant. Improper installation may compromise the safety and effectiveness of your heating installation. Regular maintenance is advised, with annual inspections by a competent person, and for solid fuel appliances, sweeping twice a year is recommended to ensure that the system remains in top condition.

The key to long-term efficient performance is a gas-tight seal. Make sure you use suitable sealing agents like fire cement, ceramic rope, or high-temperature sealant and follow all installation instructions meticulously.
